This is a unique tobacco. Pretty good to a Oriental smoker. Not a four star really but better than three. I actually prefer it to Dunhill's Durbar. I do prefer the more subtle blends so don't look for an "over-the-top" tobacco.

I found this to be a rather odd tasting Oriental, more sweet than anything else. It has good burning qualities and packs well, and the flavor is different and pleasant, but it isn't an Oriental blend in the sense that we know it.

Tin Aroma: Upon opening the tin, I was hit with the overwhelming aroma of the casing, sort of an orange rind and fruit-cake smell.
Appearance: Long, thin ribbon cut. Predominantly golden with some dark brown.
Taste: Pleasant Danish cavendish somewhat like Troost Slices, but with a fruit-cake top-note. Very subtle orientals provide a burning hay or alfalfa taste.
Burn Characteristics: Takes light easily, requiring few relights. Reasonably cool for an aromatic. Builds cake quickly.
Summary: Good tobak, but more a Danish cavendish than an oriental blend.
Pipe Used: Stanwell Antique Canadian.

Well, this tobacco was a surprise (as many have noted). It is mysterious indeed for I expected to find the usual smoky character of Latakia and some Turkish, when instead I found little of both. I highly doubt there is much Latakia in here. On the other hand there might be some Turkish, for it is sweet especially at mid-bowl. This mix doesn't bite too much, it is a pleasant lightly aromatic mixture. I would advice it for the first pipe of the morning, or at least that's what I have been using it for. All considered it's not a bad buy, but it is rather pricy.

On the tin of this stuff it says- Mysterious oriental blend, well- that it is. In the tin it manifests a sour pungency, slightly smokey & rumlike. So it seems there's alcohol in it (perhaps rum ) & some latakia is evident(not much). Like other Davidoff blends the cut is thin & fine, packs easy & is trouble free. It smokes with a clean & smooth temperament, not sweet- but a little spicy & medium strong in taste, with that rum? casing lingering throughout the bowl. Yields up a fair dose of creamy-rich smoke. The latakia is faint -more noticeable earlier on. OverAll a decent quality pipe-weed, recommended to anyone who likes English/Oriental??? blends. review updated & down-rated ( & chilled down a bit , I'm not as keen on this blend as I once was).

I'm not as keen on this tobacco as the previous reviewer, but I still enjoy it every now and then. It is a fine ribbon cut similar to the Davidoff English mix, and it does pack, light and smoke well. The scent, on opening the tin, is similar to a dry orange pekoe tea. On lighting I get a fairly strong dose of the casing - also orange-ish, but not sweet, that tends to overwhelm the tobacco. As it smokes down the bowl the flavoring fades and the true oriental flavor of the tobacco kicks in. It is a creamy smoke, without bite or excessive moisture, and leaves a nice room note. As with other Davidoff products a bit more expensive than other tinned tobaccos. Nice for an occasional change. 6.5 out of 10. - Kelly
